Servings: 6 Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 1 Stick Butter Room Temp
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 Egg Egg Room Temp
• 1 Egg Yolk Room Temp
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 Cup Chocolate Bar Chopped
• 1/2 Cup Chocolate chips + Extra For toppings
• 1 Pint Favorite Flavor Ice Cream

Instructions

• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, sift and mix all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Set the dry ingredients aside. 
• Mix butter, brown sugar & granulated sugar for approximately 3 minutes- the goal is to have a creamy consistency – depending the power of your mixer/beater and the temperature of the butter it can take anywhere between 3-5 minutes.
• Mix in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract.
• Slowly mix in the dry ingredients ( all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt).
• Chill the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes. You can chill it longer if desired.
• Roll the chill dough into balls- scoop 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll  into balls or weigh the cookie dough balls to approximately 50grams by using a food scale.
• Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the cook sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown edge appears.
• Let the chocolate chip cookies cool completely prior to adding the ice cream- if not the warm cookie will melt the ice cream as you assemble it together. To speed up the cooling process- cover the chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container or plastic bag and place them in the freezer until the cookies completely cool down. Approximately 15 minutes 
• Once the chocolate chip cookies have cooled down- scoop out the ice cream and place it on the bottom of the cookie and place the other cookie on top. Once you assemble the cookie sandwich together, place it back in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes- to allow the ice cream and the cookie to bind together.
• While assembling the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich you can add extra topping around the outside of the ice cream. The type of toppings that can be added are endless. Be creative!  – optional 
• Eat, do a little dance and enjoy the goodies you made.

Notes

BAKING TIPS:

What type of ice cream to use?

For this recipe, store-bought classic vanilla bean ice cream flavor was used. As the cookie is a classic chocolate chip cookie- the pairing of ice cream flavors are endless. Have fun using any flavors your heart desires.  Homemade ice cream can also be used for this recipe.

My dough is too sticky or soft! What to do?

Don’t panic! Place the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until it is firm enough to roll into a ball. If it is still too sticky/soft to work with, try to gradually add a bit more all-purpose flour and mix in slowly.

Baked it for 10-12 minutes and the cookies did not come out right- what can I do?

Each oven is different, so it might take a longer time to bake depending on your oven. The cookies will be done once the edges of the cookies are light brown. Keep an eye on them! An extra 30 seconds or 1 minute and make the cookies from being perfectly done to being over baked. 

To truly know the exact temperature your oven is at, it’s best to get an oven thermometer– these thermometers you place inside the oven will give you an accurate reading of the oven temperature.
